But his luck didn't stop there. He was picked up by this woman ...And brought to her private animal shelter ... Where he's learning to get around again. [Notes:NATS UP WOMAN]It's here where Chen Yunlian (yoon-LI-ahn) ... a former businesswoman cares for about 900 dogs.She rescued about 100 of them from cities hardest hit by the quake.Like other dogs with crippled hind legs ... This one now walks with the help of a wheelchair device made of P-V-C pipes. [Notes:NATS chen] Chen said her shelter is close to full capacity.She spends nearly nine-thousand dollars each month on dog food, salaries and supplies. .... much of that money she says comes out of her own pocket.Private animal shelters are still extremely rare in China ...
